Dear Father: Psalm 69:5-6

Father,

you know every sin I’ve committed;

My life’s a wide-open book before you.

Don’t let those who look to you in hope be discouraged by what happens to me,

Dear Lord! God of the armies!

I beg you –

don’t let those out looking for you, come to a dead end. . .

by following me—

Please, Lord God, my Father, protect them.

(Taken from Psalm 69:5-6, The Message)
